-<blockquote>The Hînayâna System, or School of the “Little Vehicle,” is of very ancient growth; while the Mahâyânâ is of a later period, having originated after the death of [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]]. Yet the tenets of the latter are as old as the hills that have contained such schools from time immemorial, and the Hînayâna and Mahâyânâ Schools (the latter, that of the “Great Vehicle”) both teach the same doctrine in reality. Yana, or Vehicle (in Sanskrit, Vahan) is a mystic expression, both “vehicles” inculcating that man may escape the [[suffering]]s of [[reincarnation|rebirths]] and even the false bliss of [[Devachan]], by obtaining Wisdom and Knowledge, which alone can dispel the Fruits of [[Māyā|Illusion]] and [[Avidyā|Ignorance]].<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Secret Doctrine'' vol. I, (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 39.</ref></blockquote>
